Title: Emerging Trends of AI, Robotics and Mechanical Engineering in Renewable Energy Systems: Research Perspective
Abstract:
Renewable energy systems are changing because of emerging AI (artificial intelligence), robotics and mechanical engineering trends. Once considered mechanical control systems, wind energy and solar energy are increasingly developing into intelligent, adaptable platforms powered by AI, edge computing, smart sensors, and robotic assistants. The keynote address outlines the crucial nexus of AI, robotics, mechanical systems, and data intelligence that makes ultra-precise renewable energy systems forecasting, and how recent developments contribute to more intelligent, robust, and effective renewable energy systems. The combination of sensor fusion, edge AI, and cyber-physical systems, which convert energy systems into responsive, self-optimising networks, is given particular focus. Presentation ends with a few remarks about potential future directions.
